*** THE EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED ***
You can sign up on this waiting list if you would like to be contacted in case there are cancellations (this does not include accommodation).
**This is a Vajrayana event, open to Rigpa Ngöndro and Dzogchen Mandala students & students from other sanghas who fulfil certain Vajrayana requirements. See details below.**
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche has offered to teach on the terma (spiritual treasure) of Tendrel Nyesel, bringing fresh insight into a practice and profound teaching that lie at the very heart of the Rigpa sangha.
Auspiciously, Rinpoche will also grant the elaborate, middle and essential empowerments of Tendrel Nyesel, as well as the oral transmissions (lungs) of these texts. It is exceptionally rare to receive all three—wang, lung and tri—all during one event.
Tendrel Nyesel, which literally means “eliminating flaws in interdependent circumstances,” was revealed in 1900 by the great Tertön Sogyal, Lerab Lingpa (1856–1926), the predecessor of Sogyal Rinpoche. It is said that Tertön Sogyal felt more joy at the moment of revealing this terma than at any other time in his life.
At the end of the empowerment text composed by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche at the request of H.H. the 14th Dalaï Lama, he praises the Tendrel Nyesel by saying :
"This profound teaching, so pertinent in this age, is like a secret treasure of advice never known before, one that is easy to practise and simple to apply."
Tendrel Nyesel is said to be one of the most powerful practices for bringing peace and stability in the world. The brief sadhana (liturgy) of Tendrel Nyesel is the main daily Vajrayana practice upheld by the Rigpa community worldwide.
The timing of these teachings by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche is particularly meaningful as 2026 will mark the 100th anniversary of Tertön Sogyal’s parinirvana.
With global events hanging in the balance, this powerful practice is considered by many lamas to be particularly timely and of very great significance. There is an all-encompassing, universal quality to Tendrel Nyesel, both in the number of buddhas and deities whose blessing is invoked, and in its reach and effect throughout the universe in eliminating, preventing, protecting against and transforming harm and conflict.
PROGRAMME
This event will only be in-person. There will be no streaming. Attendance is by registration only - only students with a confirmed registration will be admitted to the teachings.
In addition to the transmissions and teachings by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, we will practise the brief sadhana of Tendrel Nyesel each day.

Un événement vajrayana avec Dzongsar Khyentsé Rinpoché
Dates : du 14 au 17 décembre 2025, UNIQUEMENT SUR SITE À LÉRAB LING
*** L'ÉVÉNEMENT EST COMPLET ***
L'événement est désormais complet. Vous pouvez vous inscrire sur cette liste d'attente si vous souhaitez être contacté en cas d'annulation (cela n'inclut pas l'hébergement).
**Il s'agit d'un événement vajrayana, ouvert aux étudiants des Mandalas Ngöndro et Dzogchen de Rigpa, ainsi qu'aux étudiants d'autres sanghas qui remplissent certaines conditions du Vajrayana.**
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoché a proposé d'enseigner le terma (trésor spirituel) du Tendrel nyésel, apportant un regard neuf sur une pratique et un enseignement profond qui sont au cœur même de la sangha Rigpa.
De manière très favorable, Rinpoché accordera également les transmissions de pouvoir élaborées, moyennes et essentielles de Tendrel Nyesel, ainsi que les transmissions orales (lungs) de ces textes. Il est extrêmement rare de recevoir les trois – wang, lung et tri – au cours d'un seul événement.
Le Tendrel nyésel, qui signifie littéralement « éliminer les défauts dans les circonstances interdépendantes », a été révélé en 1900 par le grand Tertön Sogyal, Lérab Lingpa (1856-1926), le prédécesseur de Sogyal Rinpoché. On dit que Tertön Sogyal a ressenti plus de joie au moment de révéler ce terma qu'à aucun autre moment de sa vie.
À la fin du manuel pour la transmission de pouvoir composé par Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoché à la demande de Sa Sainteté le 14e Dalaï-Lama, il fait l'éloge du Tendrel nyésel en disant :
« Cet enseignement profond, si pertinent à notre époque, est comme un trésor secret de conseils jamais connus auparavant, facile à pratiquer et simple à appliquer. »
Le Tendrel nyésel est considéré comme l'une des pratiques les plus puissantes pour apporter la paix et la stabilité dans le monde. La brève sadhana (liturgie) du Tendrel nyésel est la principale pratique quotidienne du Vajrayana de la communauté de Rigpa dans le monde entier.
Le moment choisi par Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoché pour donner ces enseignements est particulièrement significatif, car 2026 marquera le 100e anniversaire du parinirvana de Tertön Sogyal.
Alors que les événements mondiaux sont en jeu, nombre de lamas considèrent cette puissante pratique comme étant d’une grande importance et particulièrement adaptée pour notre temps. Le Tendrel nyésel possède une qualité universelle et illimitée en raison du nombre de bouddhas et de déités dont on invoque les bénédictions, et par sa portée et ses effets : il élimine les maux et les conflits, en empêche l’apparition, les transforme et nous en protège.
PROGRAMME
Cet événement se déroulera uniquement en présentiel. Il ne sera pas diffusé en streaming.

Participating in a Rigdzin Düpa practice intensive—drupchö—during the Tibetan New Year (Losar) period is the best and fastest way to become familiar with and deepen your practice of this profound sadhana!
All practice sessions will be held and guided by Rigpa Senior Practice Holders and short evocative teachings will be shared to inspire our practice.
Rigdzin Düpa is a sadhana that focuses on the root of all blessings: Guru Rinpoche. It is one of the most important and profound practices of the Longchen Nyingtik tradition that we follow in Rigpa and has the power to awaken, in our experience, the view of the natural state of Dzogpachenpo—the nature of mind. It is also considered to be a profound long-life practice.
The Tibetan New Year (Losar) period is traditionally a very important time for practice in all Tibetan Monasteries. Holding annual drupchös during this period in Lerab Ling was very much initiated by Sogyal Rinpoche, and the Lerab Ling practice team does its utmost to continue this annual tradition of group Vajrayana practice for the benefit of the whole sangha and all beings.
It is said that several days participating in a drupchö or drupchen can yield the same results as years of solitary retreat, and great contemporary masters such as Kyabjé Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche have made a point of encouraging and reviving the practice of drupchen, because of its power of transformation.
WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR
Since a Rigdzin Düpa drupchö is a way for all of us to deepen our practice of guru yoga, it is recommended for established Ngöndro students and Dzogchen Mandala students who have already received a Rigdzin Düpa or Guru Rinpoche empowerment.
WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN?
Drupchös are most suited for students that:
Have a firm grounding in the practice of ngöndro, which includes having received all the ngöndro teachings, up to and including guru yoga,
Have started their ngöndro accumulations;
Have already received some instructions for sadhana practice, including a basic understanding of the key principles of the Vajrayana. This means you have either followed:
Rigpa's study and practice programme of the Vajrayana cycle from the Three-year retreat, Home Retreat or Vajrayana online retreats streamed from Lerab Ling,
Or you received these instructions during previous drupchens with Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche,
Or you are a student from a sangha other than Rigpa and have received these instructions from a qualified Vajrayana teacher.
To participate in this drupchö, a Rigdzin Düpa or a Guru Rinpoche empowerment is absolutely required.
PREPARING YOURSELF FOR THIS EVENT
You can support your practice by studying the Kyerim section of A Guide to Vajrayana Practice for the Rigpa Sangha which is available at ZAM. This will help make your participation as meaningful as possible.
If you have a Rigdzin Düpa empowerment, you could study the commentaries found in this publication: Jigme Lingpa, Patrul Rinpoche, Khenpo Chemchok, and Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye, The Gathering of Vidyadharas: Text and Commentaries on the Rigdzin Düpa, Translated by Gyurme Avertin (Boulder: Snow Lion, 2017).
Which texts to bring:

Practising Riwo Sangchö—a ritual of offering incense smoke—and reciting lungta prayers intently, right after the Tibetan New Year (Losar) is of immense benefit for our spiritual path.
As we enter the New Year, this practice based on Guru Rinpoche, is an opportunity to gather the accumulations of merit and wisdom, purify our obscurations, and, in particular, pacify any obstacles and factors that prevent the accomplishment of the Dharma and awakening in the present lifetime.
Moreover, through the practices of lungta (windhorse), we raise our inner subtle wind-energies, increase our life-span, merit and prosperity, and create the best circumstances for good health, peace and happiness in our lives. The ultimate point of such practice is to awaken the clarity aspect of our minds, to bring us into closer contact with our own rigpa.
The powerful practice of Sollo Chenmo—a practice of invocation and offering to Gesar—will also be recited once a day.
In brief, there is no better way to enter into the New Year auspiciously!
All practice sessions will be held and guided by Rigpa Senior Practice Holders and each year a new collection of short evocative teachings are shared to inspire our practice.
The Tibetan New Year (Losar) period is traditionally a very important time for practice in all Tibetan Monasteries. Holding annual practice intensives and drupchös during this period in Lerab Ling was very much initiated by Sogyal Rinpoche, and the Lerab Ling practice team does its utmost to continue this annual tradition of group Vajrayana practice for the benefit of the whole sangha and all beings.
In particular, during the first month of the Tibetan calendar (this year 18 Feb.-18 Mar.), the Holy month of Bumjur Dawa, the effects of positive actions is said to be multiplied 100,000 times. Therefore practice is emphasized during this period.
WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR
The Riwo Sangchö intensive is recommended for Ngöndro students and Dzogchen Mandala students who have already received a Guru Rinpoche empowerment. It is a great opportunity for those new to the practice or those already familiar to deeply connect with and accomplish one of Rigpa’s daily sadhana practices.
WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN?
This practice intensive is most suited for students that:
Have a firm grounding in the practice of ngöndro, which includes having received all the ngöndro teachings, up to and including guru yoga,
Have started their ngöndro accumulations;
Have already received some instructions for sadhana practice, including a basic understanding of the key principles of the Vajrayana. This means you have either followed:
Rigpa's study and practice programme of the Vajrayana cycle from the Three-year retreat, Home Retreat or Vajrayana online retreats streamed from Lerab Ling,
Or you received these instructions during previous drupchens with Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche,
Or you are a student from a sangha other than Rigpa and have received these instructions from a qualified Vajrayana teacher.
To participate in this practice intensive, a Guru Rinpoche empowerment (for example: Tendrel Nyesel, Rigdzin Düpa, Lama Norlha, Könchok Chidü…) is absolutely required.
PREPARING YOURSELF FOR THIS EVENT
You can support your practice by studying the Riwo Sangchö section of A Guide to Vajrayana Practice for the Rigpa Sangha which is available at ZAM. This will help make your participation as meaningful as possible.

Tendrel Nyesel is famed as a practice dedicated specifically to averting the inauspiciousness of the times and is said to be one of the most powerful practices for bringing peace and stability in the world. The Rigpa community is one of very few sanghas who uphold the lineage of this practice. We hold a special responsibility to keep the lineage of this practice alive!
Participating in a Tendrel Nyesel practice intensive—drupchö—during the Tibetan New Year (Losar) period, is the best and fastest way to become familiar with or deepen your practice of this profound sadhana!
With global events hanging in the balance, this powerful practice is considered by many lamas to be particularly timely and of very great significance. Through seven days of intensive practice together, we can direct the power of this practice to the current world situation, for the success of all Rigpa’s projects and for the many individual prayer requests offered during this drupchö.
The empowerment of Tendrel Nyesel was recently given by Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche in Lerab Ling (November 2024) and Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche (December 2025). This enables those who received the empowerment to fully participate in the practice.
All practice sessions will be held and guided by Rigpa Senior Practice Holders and each year an updated collection of short evocative teachings are shared to inspire our practice.
Highlights will include
Thursday 26 February: Guru Rinpoche day & Tertön Sogyal's anniversary
Tuesday 3 March: Chotrul Düchen (one of the four major annual Buddhist festivals which occurs on the 15th day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar. The first fifteen days of the year celebrate the fifteen days on which, in order to increase the merit and the devotion of future disciples, Buddha displayed a different miracle.)
Wednesday 4 March: Siddhis day
Thursday 5 March: Jinsek (Fire Ceremony)
